Abstract

The Red Palm Weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier, 1790) is a devastating invasive pest of palm trees, invading the Iraqi date palm tree in 2015 for the first time in Safwan county, Basrah province. The Red Palm weevil has been categorized as a quarantine pest of date palm trees worldwide. In this study, a five years monitoring program has been achieved by scouting the invasive pest RPW population in Safwan county by using visual sampling and Pheromone baited traps. The results indicated that the number of infested palms, increased from 12 trees in 2015 to 111 in 16 orchards in 2016. The number of the infested palms was minimized to 3 trees in the county in 2019 due to the management protocol of the Ministry of Agriculture. Furthermore, the results of RPW adults appeared monthly in the county with two activity peaks during the moderate-temperature-months. In conclusion, the quarantine and management protocol of RPW decreased the population of the invasive pest which did not spread to other districts of Iraq.

伊拉克入侵害虫红棕象鼻虫(rhynchophorus ferrugineus, olivier, 1790)种群数量评价

红棕榈象甲（RPW），Rhynchophorus ferrogineus（Olivier，1790）是一种破坏性的棕榈树入侵害虫，2015年首次入侵巴士拉省萨夫万县的伊拉克椰枣树。红棕榈象甲已被列为全球椰枣树的检疫性有害生物。在本研究中，通过使用视觉采样和费洛蒙诱饵诱捕器对萨夫万县的入侵害虫RPW种群进行了为期五年的监测。结果表明，受感染的棕榈树数量从2015年的12棵增加到2016年16个果园的111棵。由于农业部的管理协议，2019年该县受感染的棕榈树数量降至3棵。此外，RPW成年人的结果每月出现在该县，在中等温度的月份有两个活动高峰。总之，RPW的检疫和管理方案减少了入侵害虫的数量，但没有传播到伊拉克其他地区。
